I vegged out on my couch recovering from New Years and battled for 4+hrs spending 260K ally points. Got 39th and got the final 60 shards to unlock it. I'm very pleased with his ship so far. At level 1 it was my most powerful ship beating ships with 14-15K power. My G11 Vader is why it was so powerful.
Perfect timing for this tournament as I'll never find that much time for another one.
